| Topic | If Star Trek is supposed to be a utopia... |
| UnfairRepresent 05/16/23 1:36:24 PM #8: | Depends on which Star Trek. In TOS? No one has a legitimate beef with the Federation. All their enemies are jerks. In TNS and DS9 and Voyager? The writers made it less of a Utopia intentionally because they wanted intrigue for better writing. They swiveled the concept of "The future is great, if you live on a Federation main planet. But everywhere else is as shit as ever and they're bitter at the Federation for being holier-than-thou despite never suffering." DS9 literally made up that the Federation has a secret service who do CIA esiponage on everyone else. TOS was never about good writing, it was a metaphor for what humanity could be. --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair! http://i.imgur.com/yPw05Ob.png ... Copied to Clipboard! |
